 Python API
============

This section includes information for using the pure Python API of ``bob.io.base``.


Classes
-------

.. autosummary::
   bob.io.base.File
   bob.io.base.HDF5File

Functions
---------

.. autosummary::
   bob.io.base.load
   bob.io.base.merge

Test Utilities
--------------

These functions might be useful when you are writing your nose tests.
Please note that this is not part of the default ``bob.io.base`` API, so in order to use it, you have to ``import bob.io.base.test_utils`` separately.

.. autosummary::
   bob.io.base.test_utils.datafile
   bob.io.base.test_utils.temporary_filename
   bob.io.base.test_utils.extension_available
